Recap:
                          
Since Rich's party, Jeremy's goal changes, firewall breakdown, etc. has happened, the squip has tried its best to take hold of Jeremy, succeeding at times before reverting back to it's weaker form after an amount of Mountain Dew Red. Michael and Jeremy have been doing as much research as possible trying to figure out someway to destroy the squip once and for all. From all they can tell, to keep the squip at total bay one would have to constantly be drinking mountain dew red, and Michael is slowly running out. . . And so we look at the boys in their current state...
                          


                          
Jeremy was staring absentmindedly at his feet as Michael paced in front of him.
                          
"I-it just doesn't make sense! Why wouldn't they make it reversible- th-that's just stupid!" Michael growled.
                          
Jeremy nodded, "...I take that you haven't thought of anything yet?"
                          
Michael shook his head with a frown, "At this rate you'll have to take the Mountain Dew in small sips per hour...but I only have two packs of eight left and- well, that won't last you more than two years at that pace...if that...and then..."
                          
"It'll most likely want me eliminated by that point." Jeremy shrugged as he gathered up the mountain dew beside him, taking a small sip from one of the bottles.
                          
"Can you sit beside me Michael?" Jeremy looked up at Michael with a smile, "I just want to forget about this all for a little."
                          
Michael sighed, "I guess you and I owe yourself that." He chuckled and sat down beside Jeremy.
                          
Jeremy sighed in relief and put his arm around Michael, pulling him closer and kissing him a few times on the head.
                          
Michael giggled and looked up at him with love, "I'll always love you though...even if it makes you ignore me."
                          
Jeremy felt a tug at his heart, "And know that I'll always love you too, Micha...Whatever I might do, know that it was never your fault, okay? You tried your best?"
                          
"Well, until the mountain dew runs out...we should spend the most of our time together..." Michael grinned and pressed a kiss to Jeremy's cheek.
                          
"I-It's not your fault M-Michael..."
                          
Michael blinked in confusion and looked up to see Jeremy's face stained with tears as they slowly ran down his cheeks, "Jeremy, it's okay...it'll be oka-" He was silenced by a kiss to lips and a shove.
                          
Jeremy pushed Michael away, grabbing all the Mountain Dew Red he could carry and booking it towards the basement's closet.
                          
Michael didn't move at first, still stunned from the blunt act and then leaping up, "J-Jeremy- what do you mean!?" He shrieked, running towards the door, when he reached it he grabbed the knob to open it- but it was locked, "Jeremy!?" He began pounding on the door.
                          
A few sobs escaped from Jeremy's, he leaned against the door, "M-Michael- I-I love you so much..."
                          
"Jeremy...?" Michael pounded harder, but the door was made of stone- as it led under the house and to the pipes.
                          
"I-If I do this I-I can get rid of the squip f-for everyone!" Jeremy sniffled.
                          
"Jeremy!" Michael shouted, "Killing yourself will not solve this! Y-You know we already knew this a-and I wasn't going to let you do it anyway even if it did indeed work-"
                          
Jeremy let out a small sob, "I-I'm going to drown my l-lungs in mountain dew red- M-Michael."
                          
Michael froze, his entire body stiffening before he started screaming, slamming his fists against the door, "NO!" He shrieked, but Jeremy had already started chugging down the bottles, not bothering to take many breaths in between.
                          
Jeremy let out multiple sputtered coughs as he continued.
                          
"JEREMY!" Michael looked around frantically and hoisted his swivel-chair above his head, slamming it against the door. It did nothing. Michael continued with his jiggling the knob and slamming himself against the door, his knuckles bloody. He trembled, staggering at the door and giving it all her got, that's when the doorknob clicked. Michael immediately grabbed it and opened the door. His heart broke into a million pieces at what he saw. Jeremy was huddled on the floor, his stomach was absolutely bloated and his lips were red with the mountain dew, he collapsed and brought the boy into his arms, "J-Jeremy?"
                          
"..." There was no response at first, then, "M-Michael..."
                          
Michael brushed the hair from Jeremy's face, "I'm here, I'm here..." Michael's voice cracked.
                          
"S-say you love me-"
                          
"You're not going to die."
                          
"S-say you love me..."
                          
"Jeremy I'm not letting you die!" Michael began to press down on Jeremy's stomach to get the liquid out.
                          
Jeremy made multiple gargling sounds, "S-Say..." There was the sound of liquid sloshing as Jeremy went limp.
                          
"J-Jeremy?" Michael shook him, some Mountain Dew Red was dripping from the edge of the boy's lips.
                          
Michael trembled in horror, shaking him again, "I-I love you!" He shouted, "I love you- please, come back!" warm tears fell from Michael's face down onto Jeremy's cheeks as sobs raked through his body, "B-but it's a t-two player g-game..."
                          
"I love you..."
